nsCamShow

Displays information about remote devices in the Name Server (NS) cache.
SYNOPSIS
nscamshow [-t]
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to display the local NS cache information about the devices discovered in the fabric
by the NS cache manager.
If the NS cache manager does not discover new switches or new devices in the fabric, the command
displays the message "No Entry is found!"
For each discovered remote switch, this command displays the following information:
Switch entry for N
state
rev
owner
cap_available
The remaining information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow
command. Refer to the nsShow help page for a description of these displays.
NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

domain that is being displayed. When the value is 0 capability information has not
been received.
